POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Did you know mushrooms talk to each other underground through vast fungal networks(mycelium threads)? 🍄

We like to think ours do the exact same thing, just trading bedtime stories and audio adventures instead.

Swipe through to see our original mushroom cardholders in the wild! From earthy neutrals to bold pops of colour, they’re designed to keep your little one’s audio collection tidy, accessible, and full of magic. (A huge thank you to the sweet tagged customers for sharing how they style theirs in their play spaces! 💛)

Which colour combo is your favourite or what combo would your little one love in their space? (I think mine might secretly be the classic red & white...)

If your goal is to make your kids childhood magical… Funsquare has got you covered ✨

Not in a big, over-the-top way… just in those everyday moments where your lounge room turns into a cubby, an obstacle course, or “don’t touch the floor” for the 100th time 😂

It’s the kind of play that keeps them busy, gets their imagination going, and actually lasts longer than 5 minutes (you know the kind 🙃)
And somehow… those are the moments they remember most.

Honestly just one of those things you bring into your home and think “why didn’t I do this sooner"

Not all play couches are created equal… and neither are their warranties 👀

When you’re investing in a play couch your kids will jump on, climb over, build with, and use every single day… you need more than just “it should be fine.”

✨ You need 3 YEARS of confidence.

At Funsquare, we don’t just say our products are built to last, we back it.
Because we know real life play isn’t gentle… and it shouldn’t have to be 🤍

✔️ Built for everyday chaos
✔️ Designed for years of imaginative play
✔️ Backed by a 3 year warranty (because we actually stand by our quality)

This isn’t just a couch… it’s a long-term investment in your home, your kids, and their play.

And that’s the Funsquare difference ✨

Save this for later & tag a mum who’s been on the fence 👇

Not all “crash” play feels the same and that matters more than you think 👇

Crash Pads and Cloud Pods can BOTH be used for jumping, climbing and crashing…
but they give the body different types of sensory input.
And that’s where the magic is ✨

A Crash Pad offers a more structured, stable surface
→ giving consistent proprioceptive input through impact and pressure
→ perfect for kids who need to move, jump, and release energy

A Cloud Pod is softer and more flexible
→ creating a deeper, more variable pressure as it moulds to the body
→ perfect for kids who need to slow down, reset, and feel calm

Neither is “better” they just support regulation in different ways
Some days your child needs to crash, jump and go go go
Other days they need to sink in, snuggle and regroup
And often… they need both within the same hour 🙃

That’s the beauty of open-ended play
it meets them exactly where they’re at 🤍

Which one does your child naturally gravitate towards...big movement or calm spaces? 👇

2025 asked a lot of me — and somehow gave even more in return.

This year was about letting go, choosing focus, and trusting the process. From saying goodbye to parts of the business that no longer fit, to watching our community grow in the most beautiful way, every moment shaped what Open Hand Learning has become.

We sold out, more than once.
We stepped back from markets.
We built something that now reaches families all over Australia.

But the part I’m most grateful for is you — every message, every tag, every order, every quiet show of support that reminded me I wasn’t doing this alone.

Thank you for walking this year with me.
Here’s to rest, reflection, and everything waiting in 2026 🤍
